CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES
Closed material loop with PÖPPELMANN blue®.
As a plastics processing company, we see it as being our duty to make our products and processes as environmentally conscious as possible. Our plastic material is recyclable, but less than half of all plastic waste in Germany is recycled. We want to increase this quota – that’s why we are working closely with our partners throughout the entire value chain. This not only includes our customers but also material manufacturers, recyclers, retailers and various research institutions. With our PÖPPELMANN blue® initiative, we strive to create a closed material loop. A product should be converted into recycled material, and the recycled material should again become a product of the same quality.
Sustainability has a long tradition at Pöppelmann.
The use of recycled materials has been a key component of our sustainability strategy for more than 20 years. In some divisions, the recycling quota is already over 80%. And with our PÖPPELMANN blue® initiative, we’re taking things a step further still – by bundling all company activities to create a completely closed raw material cycle.
The circular economy model has become increasingly significant in recent years, and describes the change from a linear economic model to a closed cycle system. We believe that working on this offers huge potential for European industry and the plastics sector in particular to adopt a leading, global role in the development of new materials and technologies.
With our PÖPPELMANN blue® initiative, we strive to create a closed material cycle.
Excellent and certified.
„With PÖPPELMANN blue®, we want to promote the necessary transition from a linear to a circular economy and bring ecological thinking into line with economic action.“
Matthias Lesch, CEO, Pöppelmann GmbH & CO. KG
How we implement PÖPPELMANN blue® in our divisions:
Pöppelmann KAPSTO®
Resource-conserving protective elements made of recycled plastic: by using 100% recycled material which is completely reusable, we close the material cycle.
Pöppelmann FAMAC®
Resource-conserving packaging made of recycled plastic: this way, we put our foot down to the 25 million tonnes of plastic waste produced annually in Europe alone.
Pöppelmann TEKU®
Resource-conserving plant pots made of recycled plastic: the plastic for our plant pots in the colour “Recycling Blue” comes straight from packaging waste and ends up there again, too.
